Friday Quilting Giveaway!

This week’s quilting giveaway….

is going to be a FREE download. I want everyone to know how special and vital you all are to the people in your life. I sometimes think we forget about this. So… know you are needed and if not now, someday will appreciated for all you do. With that on my mind I want to give this quilt pattern called Red Tulip Basket to everyone today.

This little baby measures 16 “x 18″. It is sooooooo adorable…the size makes it so you have to look at it and and say…”How small are those pieces?” Then add Linda’s beautiful quilting and your got yourself a little masterpiece. I know some of you can do this kind of quilting.. and some will do simple cross hatch quilting and it will look good too! Needs to be about every half inch though…. I am hoping to see this done in some different color ways from some of you. I myself, will probably make a couple of white tulip blocks. Maybe a little 4 block quilt. There are lots of possibilities with this little guy than what you see here….If you have your 1/2″ finished Triangle papers you will be so happy. I hate trying to trim blocks down to 1″. But if you need 1/2″ Triangle papers we have them. Remember they are in the small variety packs as well where you have 4 sizes in those.

Click Here to Print Red Tulip Basket Pattern

No need to leave a comment on the blog this week, unless you want to... I do love reading them… but enjoy this little spring quilt pattern and I hope you ALL have a wonderful weekend!

Stay healthy my friends…

Favorite Fat Quarter Quilts & a Friday Quilting Giveaway!

Two, Four, Six, Eight Fat Quarter Quilts you can Appreciate!!!

What a clever name for a quilting book? We all have Fat Quarters, lots of Fat Quarters! So this is another tool you can use for sewing those Fat Quarters up into quilts, you then can make room for, maybe more fabric? Not right away of course, but you know there will soon be something you cannot resist so you will have room if you just “have to buy” it…

Wait, back on point, This new quilt BOOK! This is another great compilation of Moda quilt designers coming together to aide another great cause: the proceeds of this book will go to Special Olympics!

and look!!!!! My quilt made the cover, over on the bottom corner!!!! My quilts usually do not make covers, they usually are too dark for covers, but not this one!!!!!

Click HERE to get your Copy of Two, Four, Six, Eight!

Click HERE to see ALL the Moda All Star Books

This little quilt is called Golden Rule in the book, (Be Kind on our website, oops) It takes 8 Fat quarters plus the border fabric. The quilt and the appliques are flannel and the whole quilt is just so fun and easy to stitch. It ca be stitched by hand or machine AND if you are allergic to wool try using flannel like I did here…you will have to eliminate the one wool piece because I did use wool strips for the stems and vines but they could easily be made out of cotton if you wish; click the button below if you want to purchase a kit for this project, if you win our Friday quilt give-away we will refund your purchase! We have the book and kit at a special price on the website for this through the weekend! We have limited number of kits because this flannel is so popular it is almost sold out!

Here are a couple more projects in the book without giving every project in the book away!

If you would like to buy a kit for our quilt Golden Rule…CLICK HERE.

I might have borrowed a block from a certain pattern of mine. Do you know which one? Twilight Garden! Click HERE if want to know more about Twilight Garden! Twilight is made with wool appliques on a navy flannel background. It was quilted by long are quilter, Linda Hrcka and is just beautiful beyond words in person, here in this photo…not so much…I am going to do a whole post soon on this quilt alone…

I know some of you are still working on it, and some are almost finished and some of them are done! If have it finished can you send me a picture of you and your quilt for my post?

Now back on point again, thanks for sticking with me..
